Daria visited a hometown, but only just for a week. Daria keeps in her mind her favourite summer smell - the smell of home, of the hometown. When you live in Moscow, it’s so nice to get home, to breathe deeper and relax. So that’s why it’s so hard for Daria to leave from home - to say goodbye to mom and dad, it’s heartbreaking process for her.

By the way, the time was not easy for Daria - she got a very interesting, but complicated internship. So she felt a lot of responsibility, and it made her nervous. But after the internship she got a chance to relax - a trip to Crimea with her family. The days she calls her favourite, the happiest and the laziest - she was lying under the sun, tanning and eating wonderful southern fruits. She reminds about awesome and cheap Mojito from Crimea with pleasure. Daria relaxed a lot - she also tried not to read some hard literature after the study program, so she spent her time with magazines and online issues. The relaxing summer saved her potential to start the new uni year, I guess

The colour of his summer was mint green. Ilya worked in the election campaign and this colour was the main one there. The work slightly suppressed emotions, Ilya felt sad most of the days because he had to do some work instead of other people and was quite tired. The summer was brightened up only by the song by Childish Gambino, which constantly sounded in the headphones on the way to work. 

Endless weekdays were also diluted with a small trip to Vladimir. Ilya went there with his girlfriend and felt really happy during this vacation. The city opened for him from unusual sides and he learned a lot of facts about it. There was no lazy days because it’s impossible when you always have to think about work issues. The happiest days were the ones when colleagues did their job effectively and Ilya could focus on his tasks. Working in a new place paid off — Ilya met several interesting people and now they are his friends. 

Summer working has its pros and cons, but Ilya definitely has no regrets about the investments he made in his career. Despite the fact that the summer was not so bright, it was still remembered in many small moments.

Summer ends only then, when you want. So, for Sergey it ended on 6th of September. He is still having happy summer vibes, through worked a lot during last three months. 

1.PRACTICE

“Russian house in Barcelona” and local newspaper are media, where Sergey had a practice. He admits, that can’t name, where he liked to work a lot, because both places were really beneficial in terms of journalistic practice...And not only journalistic: making a report from the festival, Sergey first time of the life visited  such event and really enjoyed it. 

2.THE SMELL OF THIS SUMMER

“Summer smells like apples”, -Sergey says. Why apples? Holiday of Apple Spas he will remember for a long time. Not having a car (cause it was broken), Sergey put all apples to his house by bicycle. Such a good cardio training! He laughs.

3.GREAT BOOK 

Sergey read a lot, but he finds “Moscow and Muscovites” by Gilyarovsky most astonishing one. The main reason for it is that Sergey is fond of studying history. He recommends to read Gilyarovsky a lot.
